Book Description:Aislynn is accustomed to watching for the enemy. Her parents instructed her from the time she was young to look for the signs: people with greater than normal strength, eyes that can glow green, and have the ability to jump long distances. Over the years, Aislynn has come to view her parents’ fears as quirks—things that get in the way of having a normal high school life.
When Aislynn’s mother dies under suspicious conditions, her father doubles his restrictions. But all his precautions can’t stop the boy with glowing green eyes from finding Aislynn. She realizes too late she’s been drafted into an ancient Egyptian war, whether she’s prepared or not.

Excerpts...

An
Egyptian tomb is only a good place to die if you happen to be the pharaoh for
whom it was built. And maybe not even then. I didn’t intend to room with any of
the deceased, which meant the sooner I got out of this place the better.

My
flashlight swept over the figures on the mural in front of me. A feeling of
danger and expectation clung to everything here, as thick as the dust. On the
mural, a warrior with bright green eyes stared back at me. Horusian glowing
eyes. I could almost see the smugness in his expression, an expression that
said he was coming for me. Or at least his kind were.

Behind
me, something creaked. Footsteps.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was on my feet and running down
the path before I could fully process what was happening. The dark swarm flew
toward me. Their wings sounded like the dull hum of an incoming storm. I didn’t
have to see them to know they were scarabs—the flesh-eating kind. The Horusians
had pinpointed our location and flown in beetles to kill us. How they found us,
I didn’t know.

As I fled down the slope, I
slipped. My feet jerked out in front of me. I hit the ground, hard, skidding
and then flipped over. I tumbled down the slope, clawing at the ice, trying to
get a handhold. White flashes of snow jumbled together in my vision. Finally, I
hit a flat spot. I managed to stop, pick myself up, and run again. Panic
wrapped around me. I couldn’t make it off the ridge before the scarabs reached
me, and even if I could, I had nowhere to hide from the beetles on this open
stretch of land. Still, I ran. I wouldn’t stand still for death.

This looks so awesome! There was a mix-up in me getting a copy to review, but as soon as I do, I'll leave a review here. The thing I can say, is that everything I have read that Janette has written is... awesome! She always writes a great story that hooks you in and holds onto you until the end. Son of War Daughter of Chaoslooks like it will do the same thing. Make sure to add this to your goodreads to-read list today!

Meet:
Author Janette RallisonJanette Rallison is old. Don’t ask how old, because it isn’t polite. Let’s just say she’s older than she’d like to be and leave it at that.
Janette lives in Chandler, Arizona with her husband, five children and enough cats to classify her as “an eccentric cat lady.” She did not do this on purpose. (The cats, that is; she had the children on purpose.) Every single one of the felines showed up on its own and refuses to leave. Not even the family’s fearless little Westie dog can drive them off.
Since Janette has five children and deadlines to write books, she doesn’t have much time left over for hobbies. But since this is the internet and you can’t actually check up to see if anything on this site is true, let’s just say she enjoys dancing, scuba diving, horse back riding and long talks with Orlando Bloom. (Well, I never said he answers back.)

Would You Like Me to Read and Review Your Book?

Note: Added 7-22-2014...I am suspending any reviews from new authors for a few months. I'll still be open to reviews from authors I've reviewed for previously. I am back logged with reviews and my new school year is starting soon. I will show here on the blog when I'll be accepting new review requests.

I am accepting books for review from authors and publishers. I will read most genres, but I prefer clean romances. I will review books, hold contests and interview authors; just explain in your e-mail about the particulars . Please contact me here at WhyNotBecauseISaidSo@gmail.com
